We are in deep mourning for our colleague Helmut Bauer who passed away on February 11 2009.

His efforts are the base for the success we have with the Developer Communities, CentraSite Community and discussion forums. Most of the features and services we are taking advantage of today were initiated by Helmut. Until his last days at Software AG Helmut did the utmost to support us with all his expertise. He leaves a big hole and we miss him as skilled colleague, as well as a great person. Because of that and of the fact that his footprint is on most of the things we are doing, we dedicate our work to him.

We will always remember him.
